Best timing for a move?

Hi all,
I am expecting my second child in June (24th). My DS is 3.
DH and I have decided to move to the Netherlands, timing it so that I start work there (same company, would be a simple transfer) after my maternity leave, so in January 2015.

When would you advise us to actually move?

DH thinks August would be best, because then DS can start nursery at the same time as all the other kids, and not have to do a few months here, before moving mid-term.
I would prefer to wait a bit longer, because I am not sure that moving country with a month- old baby is really feasible. Has anybody done that and survived? Would it really be a big issue for DS to switch nursery mid-term?
I want to make the move as easy as possible for DS obviously, but I am not sure how much extra stress I will be able to deal with, with a newborn.

I wouldn't stress at all about timing, you kids are small and will adapt.
We planned the move here with military precision, just as the crunch happened, it took another 2 years to sell our house.
Good luck
